Structure and hydrogen dynamic behavior in proton sponge cations and organometallic complexes
This thesis focuses on the study of hydrogen dynamic behavior in a series of proton sponge cations as well as in bis(silyl)hydride organometallic complexes. To understand the dynamic behavior, a new tool, i.e. the ...
Population and evolutionary dynamics in spatial systems
Physical and mathematical models are extremely useful to understand key processes in population and evolutionary dynamics. Such models allow the study of many diverse features in spatial systems such as front propagation, ...
Antimicrobial activity in Bacillus spp. from plant environments against plant pathogens. Relationship with cyclic lipopeptide genes and products
Bacillus subtilis and related species have strong interest in agriculture because several strains are biocontrol agents of plant diseases, which have been recognized as biosafe. In this work, a selective enrichment procedure ...
